Sitting up

Charlotte is pretty much sitting up on her own now, as you can see she's very happy about it :)

First Easter

We had our first airplane flight to Greensboro, North Carolina to visit the Wasse family for Charlotte's first Easter. On the plane Charlotte was as good as a baby can possibly be. We got very lucky and had empty seats next to us there and back.


Charlotte met her cousins for the first time and had lots of fun.

And on Easter Sunday, we went to church in Chapel Hill and Charlotte got baptized. Father John is a very old friend of the family and performed the ceremony. Grandma Mary got Charlotte a white dress and matching bonnet with ruffle socks and white patent leather shoes- too cute! John held her during the baptism and she was quiet as could be, just staring at Father John and listening to him talk. They poured water on her head and anointed her with oil- she smelled like frankincense and myrrh for days afterward!

First Solids

Charlotte tried her first solid foods today: applesauce mixed with brown rice cereal. It was a success for the most part, she did a bit of shuddering but seemed to enjoy it. The video is pretty hysterical! 

A Family Visit

The family came to town to hold a memorial for Aunt Sylvia. Charlotte loved seeing her family and sat in her Bumbo while we enjoyed our lunch. Then she had her first trip to Pike Market.

First Snow

The 2012 Snowpocalypse was lots of fun for the Wasses. We were pretty much stranded at home for three days straight! Charlotte was not terribly fond of the snow, but it sure was beautiful.

Welcome to the Jungle

Charlotte loves her jungle play gym. She just goes nuts for it, and it will occupy her for endless amounts of time. As her motor skills have developed, she's gone from staring to swatting to grabbing and finally to chewing her jungle friends.

 

Foot Discovery

Charlotte has recently discovered her feet. This discovery has been made extra exciting by a pair of puppy sock rattles from cousins Julia and Kaya! She loves to sit upright in her Bumbo and stare at them.
